"Then the minister will come and talk to the emperor about your views on these things." Zhang Nan said.

Li Er also bowed his head slightly after hearing this, and then said: "Well, I also want to hear what shocking words you, the heir of the crossing family, can say." ”

Unexpectedly, Zhang Nan shook his head and said: "This has nothing to do with the fact that the minister is from that sect, this is just the minister's idea, everyone's thoughts are different." ”

"Then let me hear what your thoughts are." Li Erdao.

"The minister can tell the truth, but the emperor has to promise the minister, if there is something wrong with what the minister said, the emperor can't be mad."

"You said, if I don't pursue your gaffe today, no fourth person will know about it in this room." Li Erdao.

Zhang Nan nodded after hearing this, but Zhang Nan didn't believe it in his heart, after all, if the emperor wanted to die alone, then that person would die anyway, and if he didn't want a person to die, then he would definitely not die.

"In the eyes of the minister, the emperor is unlucky."

Seeing Li Er's puzzled look, Zhang Nan continued to explain: "The emperor mentioned by the minister does not only refer to you, the emperor, but also to all the people who have done this profession, no matter whether the person who does this profession is good or not, he is unlucky." ”

"Oh? This is interesting, I think Emperor Yang Guang of Sui is very happy. Li Er said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, if you're not happy, it depends on when he dies." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

Hearing Zhang Nan say this, Li Er immediately stopped talking.

"Too much power is the root cause of the emperors' misfortunes. The emperor is the freest man in the world because his power has no limits. The emperor is also the most unfree person in the world, also because his power has no boundaries. Zhang Nan talked for a long time, and finally said his thoughts.

Unexpectedly, Li Er nodded deeply after hearing this.

"That's a good point, go ahead."

"The Emperor knew very well that everything he did came from his own power. In order to maintain his supremacy, the emperor must hold on to his power and not let go of the slightest. The focus of interest is necessarily the focus of power. How many elites in the world are coveting, weighing, spying on, and plotting day and night. In order to make the people of the world his slaves, the emperor himself became a slave of power. He must love his power as much as he cares for his eyes, and he must not let up for a second. The fear of being deprived of power made the emperors nervous all year round, and even the rumors were loud and clear. ”

"Your Majesty, do you think the ministers are such people who can persecute themselves?" Zhang Nan asked.

Li Er shook his head, indeed, Zhang Nan, the master who can sit and never stand, and can lie down and never sit, it is absolutely impossible for his nerves to collapse like this, at least in Li Er's opinion, it is impossible.

Zhu Yuanzhang wrote to his heir in "The Emperor's Ancestral Teachings", which clearly showed this kind of over-vigilance. He said that when the emperor is in peace, he should always be vigilant, and he should not relax at all times, day and night, so as not to be spied on, and the country will not be lost, and every day should be treated as if he was on the battlefield, pay attention to the words and deeds of the people around him during the day, and strictly inspect at night to ensure the safety of the palace.

Even confidants who see each other day and night must be vigilant, and the so-called preparedness is also unexpected. If there is a confidential matter to discuss with the cronies, and it is necessary to retreat from others, then the guards should not be allowed to retreat too far. At most, ten zhang, not far! Weapons and armor should not be separated from the left and right, and a few good horses should be selected and placed at the palace gate and various city gates, and the saddle is complete to prevent accidents.

This kind of life is too tiring, and Zhang Nan will definitely not be able to do it.

"Everything in the world is decided by the best", and each of those eloquent monarchs had to become workaholics. Qin Shi Huang stipulated that he had to read 120 catties of bamboo slips every day before he could rest. And Your Majesty, do you remember how many days a year you have a rest? Even in the days when he went to a private club, Liu Bing specially brought some excerpts, and you also handled official business in the private club at night. Zhang Nan shook his head and said.

Indeed, as a Ming Jun, Comrade Li Er's serious attitude towards work must not be ignored, at least in Zhang Nan's view, just by virtue of such high-intensity work, Comrade Li Er can afford the title of the first emperor of the ages.

Zhu Yuanzhang said that he "every time the stars are saved and come out, the sun is in and out, worrying about danger and danger, walking on the ice of the abyss, not having a disease, not daring to be lazy, so as to be self-controlled, I am afraid that it will not be enough."

According to historical records, in the eight days of September of the 18th year of Hongwu, he read 1,660 pieces of reciprocals and handled 3,391 pieces of state affairs, with an average of more than 200 pieces of recitals and more than 400 pieces of state affairs every day.

During the reign of Emperor Yongzheng, he boasted of "being diligent in the world", not patrolling, not hunting, and managing political affairs all year round. During his thirteen-year reign, he wrote more than 10 million words of Zhu Pi.

Such an inhuman way of working is not comparable to even the most serious overtime companies in later generations.

"Also, your life is too stereotypical, every day is stipulated, you see that you must get up early every morning, otherwise you have to miss the morning court, after a break at noon, you have to start the afternoon work, after dinner, you have to continue to work, every day is not idle, you look at the minister, the emperor after the things you explain to the minister are completed, the minister is to do whatever he wants, tease the children today, go to the private club tomorrow to soak in the hot springs, and then ask a few friends to go to the bar in the evening to drink two glasses, I don't want to go out, Spend time with his wife and children in the house, this kind of life is what the minister wants. ”

Zhang Nan's smiling appearance made Li Erda not doubt the authenticity of what Zhang Nan said, after all, Li Er also envied such a life from the bottom of his heart, but because of his identity, he was destined to never live such a life for the rest of his life.

"Therefore, this profession, easy to say, any mediocre idiot can ascend to the throne of God by blood; If you want to say it's difficult, it's really hard to get to the sky. Even the wise can make mistakes. For a super emperor like Emperor Qin, Han Wu and Emperor You, who is extremely energetic and has a superior will, power can overwhelm you, not to mention those descendants who are far less strong than you. As the person who sets the norms, have you ever thought about how much pain your children and grandchildren do not have the courage and handling ability of you, and such rules have caused them. Zhang Nan said sincerely.

After listening to Zhang Nan's words, Li Er really thought about it seriously, at least in Li Er's heart, although his descendants are definitely not mortals, but if they want to say that they are better than him in the cause of the emperor, then Li Er will never admit it.
